Chapter 331: Twenty Years of Selling Teammates Professionally (Part I)
"Go down!" After the roast duck was served, Shi Bufan asked the service staff to hurry down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Shi Bufan said directly to this Ge Lulu: "Oh, Ge Lulu, you see this duck is fat enough, how much fat do you think I can get from it?" ”
Ge Lulu finally couldn't help it and said, "Shi Langzhong, tell me directly what you Datang want." Don't be so pretentious, our Turkic men are one and two are two, this time I was held by you, so I think what do you want in the Tang Dynasty? ”
"Whatever you Datang want, I can try to do. However, I hope that you Datang will not interfere in the internal affairs of our Turks, this is our Turkic own business, and you Datang will not care. Don't say that you Datang married a clan girl who didn't know where she came to Tong Yehu, even if it was an in-law, we Turks don't recognize it. I don't think you Datang will approve that the emperor married a foreign woman, so foreign countries can use this as an excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of your Datang, right? ”
Shi Bufan finally laughed and said, "Ge Lulu, you finally can't help it. You've always been dissatisfied with the Khan of the Protector of the Leaves, haven't you? I won't hide it from you, I Datang somewhat know your plan. I'm afraid you're going to stage a coup d'état and kill that Tongye Hu Khan soon, right? I'm afraid, after you come to the Tang Dynasty this time and go back, you will launch a coup d'état to kill Tongye Hu Khan. ”
"How do you know?" Qarlu asked in shock.
Shi Bufan shook his head and said, "You don't care how we know, I just want to ask you, how do you plan to solve this matter?" In a nasty phrase, what are you going to pay to 'shut us up'. ”
"I'll tell you the truth, I don't have the heart to care about this matter of your Western Turks, we actually have more than enough heart and less strength, of course we can't meddle in your Western Turkic affairs. But we're going to tell you, I think we're not good enough, but we're more than bad! ”
"Shameless!" Gharluch scolded.
Shi Bufan would be ruthless enough, although it was impossible for him to help this Qarlu seize the position of Khan, but it was easy to ruin his good deeds. Although it may not be possible to help others do successful things, it is absolutely easy to spoil other people's good deeds.
If you want to spoil this matter of Qarluq seizing the position of the Western Turk Khan, it really doesn't have to be too simple. As long as Shi Bufan tells the news that this Qarlu wants to rebel through various channels, the Tongye Khan will inevitably prevent this Qarlu from returning to China.
Ge Lulu is currently in the Tang Dynasty, not in the Western Turks, once he is not in the Western Turks, his subordinates will also be unified by the Commander Yehu Khan because the dragons have no leader.
Even Qarlu's family will be killed because of this, and he will not be able to go back at all in this life.
So although it is impossible for Datang to help him seize the position, it is definitely easy to spoil his good deeds.
Shi Bufan's blackmail against this Qarluq is definitely blackmail. If Ge Lulu does not meet the conditions of the Great Tang, then the Great Tang can go and tell the Tongye Hu Khan about his plan.
His net worth and life are in the hands of Datang, to be precise, in the hands of Shi Bufan's thoughts. This feeling was very humiliating to Qarluch, and although he was very annoyed in his heart, he could only endure it.
Ge Lulu really regretted that he came here to be an envoy this time, didn't he send sheep into the tiger's mouth?
If it was in the territory of the Western Turks, Qarlu could let people kill Shi Bufan on the spot, so that everything would be over. But this is the Tang Dynasty, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, and no matter how big the grievances of Ge Lulu are, he can only pinch his nose and admit it.
"Say, what do you want, you make an offer!" Gharluch said.
Ge Lulu was also a bachelor, and directly agreed to this condition, obviously no matter what happened. Anyway, it's useless to say anything, people are knives and I am fish and meat, so I just have a bachelor's degree. Life is like strong. Since you can't stop it, then close your eyes and enjoy it.
"I think I have an idea about this Tongye Protector Khan. Actually, if we don't tell Tongye Hu Khan, it's not impossible. Even as long as you are willing, we promise that once you become the position of Khan, then we Datang can recognize the legitimacy of your Khan. Shi Bufan said.
"Oh? Are you Datang willing to admit my orthodoxy? Also, didn't you say that the Tongye Hu Khan was your emperor's brother-in-law? Qarlu was surprised.
Ge Lulu was really overjoyed, he didn't expect to be a blessing in disguise, if he could obtain the legitimacy of Datang's recognition, then it would really be a blessing in disguise.
Although the Tang Dynasty could not effectively influence the Western Turks, it was also a means to be able to calm and endure. The Tang Dynasty is also a powerful country, and even many nomads are accustomed to accepting the canonization of the Central Plains Dynasty.
This habit, which has been formed for more than 1,000 years, has long been infiltrated into the cultural genes of many nomadic people. Accepting the canonization of the Central Plains Dynasty is actually a habit that has lasted for thousands of years. Habit may seem like a no-brainer, but sometimes habit can be so powerful.
Didn't the Mughal Empire during the Ming Dynasty also habitually go to the Ming Dynasty to accept canonization? Even the strength of the Mughal Empire was not weak, especially after the decline of the Ming Dynasty in the later period, it was fully qualified not to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty, but it was still used to taking the initiative to accept the canonization, which was a very strange habit!
If he can get the canonization of Datang, even if it is a nominal support, it will also be a good blessing for his "legitimacy".
This orthodoxy is in fact the same as the "legitimacy" of later regimes, and is an excuse to talk about.
Once the Tang Dynasty is canonized, even if those other tribes don't fall to themselves, then at least they won't continue to support those Tongye Protectors. In this way, the largest number of tribes can be kept neutral, which weakens the legitimacy of the Tongye Protector Khan to a certain extent, and allows as many tribes as possible to remain neutral, and his own success rate is greatly increased.
"Qarluch, I think you're mistaken. Although this Tongye Hu is our in-law of Datang, it does not mean that he is his own person. Marriages between countries, but they are still enemies, so there are definitely a lot of them. The marriage thing is actually not too useful, it is completely paper-thin. Now we Datang are not happy to see that Ge Lulu, so we don't mind changing it. Shi Bufan said.
"What do you want to do? What do you think of that Tong Ye Hu is not happy? Qarlu asked.
Shi Bufan took the initiative to explain: "After Tongye Hu Khan came up, he expanded his territory everywhere and attacked westward. And we are afraid that when he will also attack to the east, isn't it unlucky for us in Datang? Tong Ye Hu, this guy is too powerful, we don't worry. ”
"And the Western Turks have also suffered a lot because of the ruthless military force of Tong Yehu, right? So since we don't want him to sit in that position any longer, we might as well get him out together. Shi Bufan replied.
Qarlu seemed to feel that something was wrong, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Ge Lulu felt that Shi Bufan's excuse was obviously a bit "far-fetched", it was really too far-fetched, and it felt as if it was an excuse for the sake of "excuse", which was not quite in line with reality.
But Ge Lulu can't control so much, now that the handle is in the hands of Datang, and even Datang shows that he is willing to support him to become the Western Turk Khan, then he naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Even if you know it's a pit, you have to jump into it.
Now that Ge Lulu has no way out, if he doesn't agree, then the Tang Dynasty will not only not support him, but will tell Tong Yehu about his, then he really has no place to die.
Anyway, sticking out your head is a knife and shrinking your head is also a knife, so just be single, don't just ask. Asking too much may not be good for you, in short, the influence of the Tang Dynasty on the Western Turks is not great, what can they do with themselves?
"Hmph, I hope you don't blackmail too hard, if the blackmail is too ruthless, then I can also become a Turkic Khan, and we can break the contract." Gharlu thought.
Ge Lulu had already thought about it, because if the Tang Dynasty was too ruthless, then he would simply break the contract immediately after becoming a Turkic Khan, so that no one could say anything about him. It is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to send troops to crusade against the Western Turks, so that he has the capital to break the contract.
"Actually, our conditions are not high, and we hope to be able to get you to open our way to the Western Regions. We hope that after you ascend to the position of Khan, you will give us Tang merchants the right to go to the Western Regions, so that we can go to the Western Regions to do business. Shi Bufan said
"It's as simple as that?" Qarlu feels incredible, too simple, right?
After a long time, this extraordinary condition is so simple, isn't it just to open the trade route of the Western Regions? This doesn't seem complicated, and it is not an excessive condition to open the trade route of the Western Regions in this way.
He didn't even say anything about what he was a vassal or what kind of tribute, but only asked for the opening of trade routes in the Western Regions, so that Chinese merchants could go to the Western Regions to do business.
As for the other conditions, it seems that there is no such thing.
"It's as simple as that?" Qarlu asked again.
"Yes, it's that simple, aren't you going to say yes?" Shi Bufan asked.
"Yes, I promise, I promise!" Gharlu said.
Ge Lulu is not stupid, he knows that if he doesn't even agree to this skip, then I'm afraid he will really lose a lot. You must quickly agree, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
Isn't it just a simple condition? He can agree to this one, anyway, if he agrees, he will not lose anything, and it will not have any impact on her, he will be a fool if he does not agree.
As for Shi Bufan's simple condition, Ge Lulu quickly agreed, this condition is actually not a condition at all, and it is not a big problem for Ge Lulu.
"Well, then I should probably call you Qarluq Khan as well." Shi Bufan said.
Gelulu also laughed, for this title is so good, doesn't he just want to become a khan?
Taking advantage of the current dissatisfaction within the Western Turks with the reckless military force of the Tongye Protector Khan, he sensed an opportunity and thought that he could rise up to rebel. As long as you can assassinate this Tongye Hu and establish yourself as a khan, you can replace this Tongye Hu Khan.
The position of the Turkic Khan, why should he do it for his nephew. Everyone is from the Ashina family, why can't their nephews do it themselves?
To use a famous sentence of Lu Xun, that is why the monk can touch it, but I can't touch it?
As long as you have the ability, you will want to go to the peak of power to sit for a while, so that you can experience the feeling of the highest peak of power, how refreshing that feeling is! I have to say that power is the most powerful poison. product, once it is contaminated, I am afraid that I will not be able to quit at all.
"Come, Qarluq, let's drink together, drink hard, and we toast to your position as Khan. I heard that your Sanle pulp in the Western Regions is good, so get me some another day. Shi Bufan said.
This Ge Lulu also drank a few glasses of cat urine, plus he was overexcited, so he said directly: "Hehe, Sanle pulp is good, although it is not wine, but it has a different taste, and drinking it often is good for the body, I didn't expect you to be familiar with it." Okay, I'll get you some when I get to the Khan position. ”
The two of them were here to push the cup and change the lamp, eating the Chang'an roast duck invented by Shi Bufan, and then the two sides reached a dirty deal, the Turkic ruler Yehu Khan was an ally of the Tang Dynasty back then, and Li Yuan married all the clan girls to him, which was considered a marriage.
How good the relationship was back then, the relationship was so good that it was too fat to wear a pair of pants.
But now Shi Bufan has sold this Tongye Hu Khan, and he has directly sold it to the bottom. This selling teammates is definitely selling teammates
Yes.
However, Shi Bufan thinks that he has nothing to be embarrassed about, there are no eternal enemies and friends between countries, only eternal interests. Since you can get more profits by selling this Tongye Hu Khan, then if you sell it, you will sell it. The only thing Shi Bufan can do is to sell this Tongye Hu Khan for a good price and a good result, which is the most important thing.
As for those who really believe in the friendship between the two countries, they are fools. If you don't sell your teammates, then you don't engage in diplomacy. If you pay attention to friendship and affection, don't mix it up in the diplomatic industry. A person who does not betray his teammates is not a qualified diplomat, let alone a good diplomat.
"Aren't teammates just for selling? In international politics, a person who does not sell his teammates is a person who does not mix. Isn't mixing internationally a test of who has the strongest ability to sell teammates? Whoever sells his teammates for a good price is the one who really knows how to be diplomatic! I have been selling teammates professionally for 20 years, and my teammates have been able to circle the earth three times! Shi Bufan thought sinisterly.
